Despite a strong start by the West (7-0 in 2 minutes) there were no big
differences in the first half. Kevin Durant was determined to repeat as MVP,
carrying Western offensive game with 19 points at halftime. Meanwhile, Chris
Paul with 9 assists and Kobe Bryant with 7 took care of the ball. The best
player of the East team was Dwyane Wade (12 points and 6 assists), although
in Chris Bosh was a main character too, but not for his good performance. He
missed 5 shots (including 3 airballs) and got angry when first Paul and
later Tony Parker bounced the ball between Bosh legs.

scoreboard, but the East kept fighting, and two 3-pointers by Kyrie Irving
cut the difference to 1 point with 7 minutes left. Kobe with a layup after
breaking Bosh ankles and blocking Lebron James 3 shot on the next
possession and the score went up to +10 again with 2:30 minutes left.

shooting
threes, but the game was over.

team. Lebron, Bosh and Wade, and Lakers trio A.C Green, James Worthy and
